Do you use prong, pinch or e-collars?At 9 Line K9 Academy, we understand that every dog is unique and may respond differently to various motivators, and so we tailor our approach to each individual dog to set them up for success. There are four different ways to motivate a dog during training. You can motivate using a toy, food, praise, or with correction. Our trainers do not rely on just one method, as we believe that using only one method can set a dog up for failure. Instead, we focus on finding the best approach for each dog, ensuring their training is effective and sustainable while ensuring a successful outcome. Therefore, we focus on setting dogs up for success by finding out what motivates each individual dog, and then using that information to guide our training sessions. Our approach ensures that each dog receives the right kind of motivation and support to thrive in their training program.

What is the purpose of the evaluation?When working with 9 Line K9 Academy for animal behavior consulting, the process typically begins with an initial evaluation or consultation. During this session, we take the time to get to know both the dog and the owner, discussing the owner's goals, concerns, and any specific problems they may be experiencing with their dog's behavior. We also use this time to explain our training philosophy, which is based on positive reinforcement and building a strong relationship between the owner and their dog. We believe that training should be both effective and enjoyable for both the dog and the owner. Throughout the process, we place a strong emphasis on owner buy-in, ensuring that the owner feels confident and equipped to continue reinforcing the training principles at home.
